She already gone.....

Hanna has come and gone.

My power went out last night, but was on by 9 am.

We got 4.2 inches of rain.

It knocked dowm most of my sunflowers(they were in their last days...)

There has been some flooding.  Silly drivers going through the drainage under the overpasses were stalling out.  Some sense is required when driving after a heavy rain!  DUH

I haven't heard of any serious damage or injuries.  The areas prone to flash flooding ~  did!  But they flood at less.   It looks like Hanna has made it through Virginia and is off shore.  I hope everyone is  safe and dry....  Take care!

Hanna is coming to visit.....

Well,  you would think I would be used to these things.....  But you know, I haven't dealt with the threat of a hurricane up close and personal in quite a while.  For 5 years in Okinawa, we looked forward to the frequent "Typhoon Parties" when the base went into lock down and all you could do is look at rain pound you for 5 days.   3 years in Hawaii only a couple of tropical storms came our way.  Then 10 years on the Gulf coast in Florida.  But now I need to get ready for Hanna.  Water, flashlights, food that requires no cooking--- everything small and loose put up, bigger stuff tied down.  She should be arriving sometime in the wee hours.  Please let her be gentle!

Have a great day Everybody!
